Case Study: University of Canberra achieves A$390,000 TCO savings and 150% faster backups with Commvault HyperScale

University of Canberra slashes TCO and storage cost with Commvault and AWS

The University of Canberra, a leading young university with 22,000+ students and 142 TB of data, faced a 30% annual growth in research data and needed to modernize its backup infrastructure while integrating with existing Nutanix hyperconverged systems and AWS to protect critical student, research and finance systems.

UC deployed Commvault HyperScale integrated with Amazon S3, S3‑IA and Glacier (installed by Commvault Professional Services in three days), cutting TCO by A$390,000 over three years and saving A$149,000 in hardware and tape costs over six years. The new solution delivered 150% faster backup/restore throughput, reduced support overhead, offered easy scale‑out capacity and provided highly available, off‑site protection for all critical data.
